Could someone explain to me how to make lists like this?

 

1) Hop onto a PC and log into PSNP.

 

2) Search the forum for "PSNP+"...

It's a cool browser extension for this site by a user called Husky. Follow the forum thread for instructions on how to install it, how to make lists, how to do a bunch of other nifty things.

 

I think it has it's own export feature. If it does, go ahead and export that list. If not, screenshot it and crop it in Paint. But I'm pretty sure it does.

 

3) Set up an account with postimages.org ...

It's free. It is a site to upload an image to the internet. Once you've uploaded your image of your list to that site, copy the "Direct Link."

 

4) Paste the direct link into a new post on this forum thread.

 

5) Don't forget to upvote Husky on the PSNP+ thread. He's participating in this event too so be generous with the love.

If you happen to use firefox you can use the built in screenshot function to grab it with the right crop to begin with.

It's a browser add on.  I'm on my phone ATM but if you search something like "new,improved psnp+" it'll walk you through the whole thing.

I'm thinking about joining this event as I have many ultra rare games to complete eventually including many tough ones that I have made some progress in whilst there's other games that I'm yet to start. It was really enjoyable reading the last ultra event that is almost finished.

 

I think I'll do these -

 

Tier 1

 

Armored Core V: Verdict Day - 1.00% (0%)

Assetto Corsa - 0.22% (31%)

Assetto Corsa: Ultimate Edition - 0.31% (31%)

Assetto Corsa Competizione - 0.88% (57%)

Blur - 1.53% (45%)

Death Track: Resurrection - 0.62% (12%)

Dirt Rally 2.0 - 2.17% / 0.12% (87%)

Furi - 1.65% (0%)

Gran Turismo Sport - 0.96% (90%)

Raiden V: Director's Cut - 3.31% (0%)

 

I made progress in a few already but doing these would finish up every hard racing game that's possible.

 

I'm just gonna do an update for games in this tier that I will probably use for the next one & I also got Furi done a few weeks ago. I made a post on my trophy checklist on Furi where I went more into it. I found Furi got easier the more I played it since it was alright once I got used to it. I definitely recommend Furi to anyone that is thinking of playing it.

 

I'm gonna do a swap since I started CarX Drift Racing Online recently but will have to go back to it since it's quite a grind & can take awhile depending on how good you are at drifting in general. I will post a few videos on the drifting grind & how to do it efficiently on my trophy checklist at some point but it's a decent game at least. I'll take out Death Track: Resurrection for the moment & either swap it back in later or do it for the next tier instead.

 

Swaps - Out - Death Track: Resurrection

                 In - CarX Drift Racing Online

 

Tier 1 (Updated)

 

Armored Core: Verdict Day - 1.01% (14%)

Assetto Corsa - 0.22% (31%)

Assetto Corsa: Ultimate Edition - 0.30% (31%)

Assetto Corsa Competizione - 0.85% (57%)

Blur - 1.53% (45%)

CarX Racing Drift Online  - 1.24% (95%)

Dirt Rally 2.0 - 2.13% / 0.12% (87%)

Furi - 1.65% (Done)

Gran Turismo Sport - 0.97% (90%)

Raiden V: Director's Cut - 3.23% (0%)

 

I started Armored Core: Verdict Day this week so will see how I go on that. I'm gonna do other games as well whilst I get through Armored Core: Verdict Day so will do what I can.

Progress Update

5th game done!

 

Zeno Clash 2 - 100% Complete

https://psnprofiles.com/trophies/2048-zeno-clash-2/MrHealthy

 

I thought this was a great sequel to the original that I played on PC. They improved the combat allowing for more combos and variety. They took a relatively simple story from the original and expanded on it greatly making it much larger and more interesting. The semi-open world of this felt a lot more fun to explore then the linear arenas from the first game. And it retains its weird and wonderful character and art design. It's a very unique experience that I very much enjoyed.

 

As far as UR's go, there is only one. A True Renaissance Zeno for maxing out your stats which is tied to finding the skill totem collectibles. There is absolutely no reason that this should be ultra rare. A few of the totems are tricky to find since they have some puzzles tied to them, but most of them are just tucked in corners. Just use a guide for the difficult ones and your golden.

The only reason I can think of that this is ultra rare is that people maybe got turned off from the first person brawling + the frame rate issues present in larger encounters.

 

Funnily enough though I just learned that the developers ACE Team have recently announced Zeno Clash 3, though it has been rebranded to Clash: Artifacts of Chaos. It has a new protagonist though, so it remains to be seen if it will continue the plot from the first two games or if its simply set in the same world.

 

I know I said Fall Guys would be next, but I tried playing it and I am awful at it now. I will likely have to wait for an event that makes getting wins easier or join one of the boosting groups. If anyone here is interested in partying up for the Squad Goals trophy shoot me a message.

 

Full List:

1. Action Henk (0.47%) - Progress: 0%

 As @Copanele mentioned, I have been very vocal about how stupid the DLC rarities are computed here on PSNP and how it is even more stupid that the 100% rarity of a game does not follow the same computations, but we are still hosting an event on this site and thus need to use the numbers provided here. 

 

^This. I have a number of games with DLC that are UR with less than 5% completion for the 100% sum total of trophies, but because of the silly way DLC is computed, the UR game trophies only tally as rare: Need for Speed Hot Pursuit and Far Cry 6 are two examples.

 

Millions of people have played Far Cry 6 on PlayStation, but only 671 have earned one or both of the free Party Crasher trophies. The mode is significantly harder than the main game, so only the hardcore attempt it. Of this dedicated minority, perhaps 1/6 succeed on Mastery 3. On the PlayStation Network, the Queenslayer trophy completion percentage is 0.1%. However, because of the way DLC trophies are calculated on PSNP, the Queenslayer trophy is listed at a whopping 15.7%. It is free DLC, so millions of players have access to it and thousands have played it. However, only 671 have been spent the time to reach and complete Mastery 3, and PSNP calculates rarity based on only those 671 people. This approach is illogical, particularly with free DLC. I agree with Arcesisus: The calculations system for DLC rarities and 100% rarities need to change. Arguing PSNP calculations is not the point of this thread, but as far as the big picture, Arcesius has a valid point. The odd way PSNP calculates DLC and 100% completion rarity eliminates many great UR games from being eligible for this event.

[Prometheous101]

Finished 2 more of my games.
Eagle Flight (VR) 
Ubisoft open world game, 1st person control of an eagle ( bird) flying through post-apocalyptic Paris. Collectibles, time trials and other challenges both in the city on the ground and underground in the tunnels, I much prefer underground gameplay as its a lot more tight and requires precision and level knowledge.
8 hours of single player, 30 hours of online boosting ( 15 hours per person)
Single player is a decently enjoyable short experience, the platinum completely destroyed by an unnecessary online grind.
My new 3rd rarest trophy sitting at 0.43% for the platinum.

Fruit Ninja Vr
Somewhat enjoyable first 2 hours same as Eagle Flight, trophies destroyed with an unnecessary grind ( 10 hours)
Recommend to do with someone as it gets boring alone after slicing random fruit for 5-6 hours + it is physically tiring.

 

 

1. EAGLE FLIGHT DONE (0.46%)
2. FIREWALL ZERO HOUR (0.44%)
3. KUNG FU PANDA SHOWDOWN OF LEGENDARY LEGENDS (0.77%)
4. KNOWLEDGE IS POWER DECADES EU (3.82%)

And another one in the box I was quite scared about the Amnesia games combined into Amnesia Collection. I had played Amnesia The Dark Descent and Machine for Pigs. Therefor i started these two with a collectibles guide up and run through as much as possible. I remembered quite a lot of these games and was hardly stuck somewhere. Both felt easy to complete since i knew the games. Only Amnesia The Dark Descent on Hard difficulty and Amnesia Justine weren't easy to complete due to higher risk in death meaning progress lost. My name is Evil_Joker88 and Fractional Games have made my life hard but three different guides how to complete Hard difficulty helped a lot

 

They're good games but the horror is lost a lot after one playthrough but thankfully that meant i completed it as expected rather fast....

#4 Thumper

Difficulty: 5/10

Enjoyment: 4.5/10

 

Thumper is rhythm action game with optional VR support requiring the player to "thump" beats, grind rails, collect rings and more. The games created in a way to be simple to pick up, but hard to master. The game only uses  and  to perform every action (or the dpad which is recommended).

 

 

The challenge was acquiring an S-Rank on all 9 stages. A stage S-Rank is earned by achieving S-Rank on each sub-level in the stage. Each stage is broken up into 15-30 sub-levels.

 

To begin with I found the game fairly challenging to wrap my head around as it's not considered a "tradtional" rhythm game. The game focuses on the player "creating" the rhythm as apposed to playing to the rhythm. Personally I didn't enjoy this as much as I would have liked, but I can see the appeal to more musically savvy players.

To earn S-Rank close to perfection was required on every level, however if you finish a sub-level and don't achieve an S-Rank you can simply restart the previous level until you do. This makes every level easily grindable.

I started off by going for S-Ranks on my frist playthrough due to the generous checkpoint system, which was the cause for my initial struggle, but by the time I reached world 3 the game had clicked for me and was more trial and error from there on out.

The biggest gripe I had with the game was towards the last few worlds when the speed had increased dramatically and beats needed to be hit around corners which were un-reactable due to the speed. Personally it felt cheap and an artificial difficulty hike whcih ate up most of my restarts until it dug into my muscle memory. I also struggled with the visual clutter, especially when a beat was thumped it began to "glow" which for some reason stopped all other subsequent beat being visable, which were usually slightly visable through walls / the track. I also found the game hard to play in long sessions with a mix of the intense visuals and mild thumb pain.

 

With all that being said the game was VERY satisfying when you perfected a stage, especially some of the much faster levels. I've also heard the game is much more enjoyable (and easier!) in VR but sadly I don't own a headset. The game controlled and flowed tightly but personally wasn't my kind of rhythm game.

 

 

 

 

I started Trials Fusion this morning and enjoying it a lot more than rising so far, we'll see if my opinion changes after some of the harder challenges.

First game completed, Pox Nora finished! For such a high rarity, the game honestly isn't hard at all. Sure, if you wanna "git gud" at it, then you have to learn a ton of synergies, good decks and counters, etc, but mechanically it isn't complicated at all and the challenges the game offers aren't really that bad. You can grind to Limited League with an alt, unlocking decks takes one easy AI campaign per deck and legendary AI battles can be cheesed with choosing specific faction and map, so that enemy keeps spawning enemies in pits and killing them instantly. Only Heroic Quests are somewhat tricky, because there are a lot of different sets of quests, but shards you get from leagues are more than enough to buy yourself required cards. Also, I'm gonna make a quick swap, out Troll and I, in Watch Dogs PS3.

New update

 

In:

• Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown
• Hyper Light Drifter

Out: 

• Torquel

 

 

It's been a few weeks since my last update. I completed Nova-111 & Assetto Corsa.

 

 

Nova-111

 

I enjoyed the game for the first 6 levels but used a guide afterwards, because collectibles are quite annoying to get and I didn't like the rest of the game. It starts pretty simple with "you move 1 tile, the enemy moves 1 tile" gameplay and gets more and more complex the more you progress. Though introducing enemies and hazards that don't follow the rule of only moving when you are moving put me off. It does spice things up, but I simply didn't enjoy it.

 

Trophy-wise the game is straight-forward. Some misc trophies that can easily be obtained, find collectibles & secrets and do a no-hit run which (thank god) is bugged in a good way. After completing your first playthrough, you just have to replay the very first level and it pops the no-hit run trophy after finishing the level, even if you get hit. 

Furthermore the all secrets trophy didn't pop for me after finding the last one, but did actually pop together with the no-hit run trophy.

 

Overall I wouldn't recommend the game.

 

 

Assetto Corsa

 

Assetto Corsa is the third SIM-Racer I have played so far and is in my opinion the weakest one. Gran Turismo Sports & Dirt Rally 2.0 being the other two SIM-Racer.

 

First of all the game itself. It plays nice, exactly how you would expect a SIM-Racing game to be and it also looks decent for its age. It offeres a lot of Singleplayer content, from Hotlaps to Quick Races and Time Attacks, also Drift Mode for some reason(?). The Multiplayer part is rather weak, it only allows a certain amount of lobbies being open at the same time and usually these are stuck in practice or qualifying rather than race-mode.

 

I started this game, fully expecting to get my ass whooped, so I was disappointed after realizing that 81% of all trophies are easily obtainable without much effort going into it, or to give you better understanding: everything except Gold Medals on Special Event Hotlaps & Gold Medals on Special Event Quick Races is a piece of cake.

 

It is best you start with career mode. It offers multiple series, each having several quick races and time attacks, which you have to finish with gold medals for the Pro Driver trophy (except the GT & GT Extreme series). Now, you can play the entire career mode on very easy difficulty which makes this an absolute mindless grind. It wouldn't have been too bad, if it wasn't for the fact that you basically drive only 5-7 different tracks the whole time. Also Time Attacks are completely broken, you can cheese every single Time Attack (that also includes all special events) by just driving slow and reaching each checkpoint shortly before time runs out to gain the maximum time bonus. They became so obsolote to me that I cannot even remember what the actual goal of Time Attacks is, I am not joking. It is either completing a certain amount of laps or driving for a certain amount of time.

 

Anyway, the quick races are still somewhat fun, I mean driving feels good and that's why I actually played this game. The Pro Driver trophy takes roughly +- 20 hours.

 

Let's continue with the GT & GT Extreme Series. There are a total of 6 GT and 6 GT Extreme Series. Each Series has 7 Quick Races but fortunately you only have to win 6 to reach the goal of 60 points. Since the "get all gold medals" trophy isn't tied to these series, you can always skip the last race. 

 

Still, it is the worst part of the game. 6 races times 6 series is 36 races in total. Each race is around 8-10 laps, each lap taking around 1:30 - 2:00 minutes. You can do the maths. I want to emphasize, this wouldn't been much of an issue, if it wasn't for the fact that you always drive the same 6 tracks over and over again. You can't even choose the 7th track to get some sort of variety, because you have to unlock each track by beating the previous one.

 

Well, by now you probably already know that GT Extreme won't be any better. Nope it only gets worse. It isn't called extreme because the opponents are tougher (you still are playing on very easy [if you want obviously]), no, it is because each race now takes 27- 45 laps. Hmmmmm.... now to break it down easily. 36 races, each roughly taking an hour. Yup 36 hours of grinding the same tracks you have been driving on for the last 40-50 hours. I literally fell asleep a few times driving off track or hitting the next border. Fortunately I always had such a huge lead, that I was still able to win every track first try. The lowest point was reached however, when the game decided to switch to slow-mo mode after 35/36 laps and I was not able to fix it. 1 hour wasted. Well at least the game warnes you every time you boot up the game on a PS5.

 

While I was doing the Extreme series, I also started working on the Time Attack Special Events, which there are only 7 in total and like I mentioned before, were a total breeze with the "exploit". What I haven't talked about yet is the Drift Mode. I don't understand how this mode made it into the game tbh. It simply doesn't fit this game at all. But fortunately enough, you can cheese these as well. There is a technique called "snailing" which makes it so much easier to gather points. You basically drive in 1st or 2nd gear and move from left to right, from right to left over and over while "drifting". This also makes the miscellaneous trophies easy to get.

 

Alright, now the fun part begins. I chose to start with the special event hotlaps. You have to beat a specific time in one lap to get the gold medal. First of all, I was so glad to see more than just 6 different tracks. There are a total of 35 hotlaps spread across 12-15 different tracks I think. 

 

And before I continue, I want to give @ExistentialSolid a huge shout-out for having such a helpful playlist on youtube containing each hotlap (and quick races on alien difficulty) with settings for each car. If I had to figure out the settings for each car myself, I would have been completely lost. He also wrote helpful tricks and his opinion of each track in the description which always gave me some clue of what to expect. So thanks a lot again mate.?.

 

Also, one of the biggest improvements I made was due to the video description of the very first hotlap. This may sound like common sense to some, but whenever I was playing a SIM-Racer and had to take a turn, I was steering hard left or hard right, meaning pushing the left stick to the very end. The real trick however is to only slightly turn the stick, which results in you car actually turning more to the left or right than if you push that stick to the max. I actually couldn't believe that I had played three SIM-Racers up to that point and never knew about that.

 

Some hotlaps were really challenging, had tight times to beat and sometimes the car you had to drive was also giving me problems. This is definitely the hardest part for the platinum. However, I've seen countless times how people said that it is an easy 10/10 and I have to disagree. Now, I did the plat what? 6, 7 years after release? There are so many tricks, shortcuts and videos to help you out, making some of the hotlaps basically free gold medals. For example there are two hotlaps where the track is one huge oval and the biggest turn can be cheesed by just driving into the railing and slide next to it. Usually the lap is forfeited after leaving the track, but the railing is right next to the track.

Other hotlaps can be cheesed via the pit-stop exploit. You drive over the finishing line, immediately choose to go to pit stop and on some tracks you gain a headstart of up to two seconds.

There are simply to many cheeses that Assetto Corsa can't be a 10/10 anymore. I wouldnt even say it is a 9/10. The longest I spent for a single hotlap was around 4-5 hours, with the exception of Nordschleife, which is a 7-9 minute track, depending on the car you are driving. Learning this track was acutally the most fun I had and took me around 7-8 hours to finish the first Nordschleife track, while the second and third one were done after an hour or two of trying.

 

Okay, last segment, I promise. Quick races. You have to finish first on 29 different races against the opponents on Alien difficulty, which comes after "very hard". This could have been the platinum breaker for basically anyone that isn't a pro SIM-Racer. Beating these races legit would have been almost impossible for me without spending countless hours on improving and probably investing in a Racing Rig. But ... you can cheese every race.   Either by using the pit-stop exploit, so you only have to keep your opponent behind you. They usually brake instead of ramming you. Other races you can just drive over grass without getting a penalty and getting a lead of 2 to 3 seconds, or you just crash into your opponents and then take a shortcut without receiving a penalty. One of ExistentialSolid's thumbnails can give you a good impression on what Quick Race Special Events basically are.  

 

 

Alright, last thoughts. I still enjoyed the challenge that was there, somewhat. The grind became tedious after a while. If you are looking for a good SIM-Racer, I'd still recommend Gran Tursimo over Assetto Corsa, because it does everything Assetto does, just better. If you are looking for a challenge, based mainly on Singleplayer, you might want to wait for Gran Turismo 7 and see what it has to offer. Otherwise I'd recommend Dirt Rally 2.0, though it's a "different" SIM-Racer in a sense that you are usually driving off road.

 

tl;dr: decent game, challenge overrated after years of release due to many exploits, tips & tricks, long and boring Career mode grind, special event hotlaps are a decent challenge. Would recommend Gran Turismo if you are looking to get into SIM-Racing, maybe wait for GT7.

 

 

For my other games currently going on:

 

Hustle King should be done by Saturday if nothing unexpected happens and I fail a daily challenge. Ace Combat 7 is also almost done, I wrapped up everything, except some rubber banding grind.

 

Call of Duty: Ghosts is going smoothly so far, I expect to be done at some point in March. My next project is Hyper Light Drifter. I abondoned the game a year ago, for reasons I am going to explain in my review. I already did the 800 dashes trophy which was quite the challenge for me. I definitely need to play more rhythm games, I suck at them.

 

Also, always keep pushing guys! Even when you fail 3 dashes before the trophy... lol.

Just wanted to let you know, I added the link to the PSNP+ browser script to the main page, for those who want to create a custom list and don't know how. Will paste it here just in case:

Tier 1 Update 

Would like to switch out Unravel Two and replace it with Trackmania Turbo which I am enjoying really much at the moment. 

 

I finally finished Overwatch: Origins Edition. A great objective-based online hero shooter with a terribly annoying trophy list. My plan was to do it all legit but after a while i became inpatient and seeing how unlikely some of the trophies would be to earn, I decided to boost quite a good portion of it. However, boosting always requires 12 people so if you've ever boosted something, you can imagine how chaotic it was. Thank you for suffering through this with me @Exhuman1988.

When playing legit, you play 6 vs. 6 matches with each team having 2 tanks, 2 damage dealers and 2 healers. There are 32 playable characters, all with a unique playstyle and set of abilities.

I generally favored tanks like D.VA or Orisa, with Roadhog being my absolute favorite character. He pulls enemies towards him with well-aimed grappling hooks and blasts their faces away with the shotgun once they are really close. Also, he never really dies because of his insane health pool and convenient self-heal ability. I think he sums it up pretty well himself with: "I am a one-man-apocalypse."

The game is well balanced and you really see the benefit of playing well as a team, especially when jumping into exciting ranked games. If you don't know how to fill your role properly, your entire team suffers and often gets absolutely wrecked. On the other side, everybody benefits from a good healer, damage dealer or tank and every player can be the key to one of these sweet, dominating victories.

 

I recommend the game to have fun with friends, but definitely not for the trophies.

I cannot stress how difficult this game was; it is my hardest plat and the hardest game I've ever played. I can't believe it's finally over!!!
I've seen the talks on Track 180 since a year ago and thought I could never do it... But I actually did it!

I'll probably take a bit of a break from URs since doing this and Crash 4 back to back is pretty draining, but when I get back I'll do my best!

Hi, I'd like to change Far Cry 2 for Hyper Scape in my tier 1 list.

A very quick update, Hyper Scape is now at 100%

And before I continue, I want to give @ExistentialSolid a huge shout-out for having such a helpful playlist on youtube containing each hotlap (and quick races on alien difficulty) with settings for each car. If I had to figure out the settings for each car myself, I would have been completely lost. He also wrote helpful tricks and his opinion of each track in the description which always gave me some clue of what to expect. So thanks a lot again mate.?.

Congrats on surviving Assetto Corsa! ? I'm happy to hear my videos could help you out and it was nice to see at least one person enjoyed that thumbnail as much as I did. ? That said, just about everything I learned about the game could be traced back to the hard work of @Don_carlito94. He sent me tons of helpful tips and videos as I pushed through Assetto Corsa a few months back; all I did was piece these tips together as best as I could (I think my only discovery was the 2-3 second skip in the Spa hotlaps). If anyone deserves a shout-out, it'd definitely be him!

Well, one more big thanks to @Don_carlito94 then.  

Though having all the info bundled in one place is sth. I always appreciate, so Ex you definitely contributed as well. ?

Laser League (77%): Over the past two days, I cleaned up the last Mastery 2 for my boosting partner, got them through Blade Mastery 3, and I got done Blade Mastery 4 on my end, which means no more revival blocks for me (still gotta do 75 more with my boosting partner, though).

 

Should make the rest of the grind on my end EZPZ since I just need to get blade kills for 9 matches (I get 11 of the 100 Chains needed per match of all blade kills and I'm already up 6 from the match I ranked up on) and then it's just letting the opponents run into lasers constantly to grind out round wins and killstreaks.

 

Also got up to Level 20 during this whole ordeal, so that's roughly half of the level grind over with.

 My next project is Hyper Light Drifter. I abondoned the game a year ago, for reasons I am going to explain in my review.

 

Started this game awhile back and abandoned it after seeing all the damn collectibles ?. Will go back one day as I hear it's great but that definitely set me off from playing it.
